Deep down, Cherry almost wants him to sell her out—that way, there''d be another show to watch.


    But if he did betray her, their cooperation would be over, and she would have to find resources elsewhere. So, it was better for him to just stick to the script.


    After leaving the hospital, Cherry went straight home.


    She ryed her entire conversation at the hospital to Hannah.


    Hannah and Samuel listened in silence. Neither of them could believe that even in


    his current state, Lionel was still trying to negotiate terms. The man was an absolute fool.


    “Hannah, when do you n on going?"


    Hannah thought for a moment. "Tonight sounds good."


    She had to go sooner orter, so she might as well get it over with.


    Besides, Hannah was secretly eager to see how Lionel would react when she followed Cherry''s script-what he would say, the expression on his face.


    The anticipation was thrilling, so it was better to go soon.


    Hannah was also worried that if she dyed for a few days, the impact would be lost.


    After all, the character she was ying was someone desperate to meet those people and find her mother.


    If she waited too long, it would seem like she wasn''t that eager, which woulde off as insincere. If Lionel caught on, it would ruin everything.


    "Hannah, when you go, can Ie with you? You know me, I love the drama and can''t stay out of it. I just want to watch, please?" Samuel asked eagerly.


    He had been excited ever since Cherry first proposed the n.


    It would be a terrible shame if he couldn''t witness it firsthand.


    "Of course we should go together. It''ll be more interesting that way. Besides, if you don''t show up, Lionel might get suspicious. You''re always at the forefront of everything, so your absence for something this important would definitely be strange."


    As Hannah finished speaking, Cherry suddenly had an idea.


    "If you''re both going, then I''ll show up a little while after you get there. Hannah, I want to see it live, too! I can pretend wasing to tell hing you were on your way. That way won''t arouse suspicion."


    if


    Cherry''s idea was met with enthusiastic approval from the other two.


    In that moment, the two spectators had be a trio of conspirators. No one would have ever imagined that Cherry and Hannah would team up so seamlessly.


    Meanwhile, Lionel, resting in the hospital, had no idea what was in store for him.


    He was eagerly anticipating Hannah''s visit, but he was also worried.


    He didn''t know how he would exin everything to her when she arrived, nor did he have any idea when she woulde.


    That evening, in the hospital room.


    Just as Lionel was about to pick up his phone and message Cherry to ask if she had spoken to Hannah yet,


    Hannah and Samuel appeared at his door. Seeing them both, Lionel froze.


    A few secondster, he snapped back to reality and quickly deleted the message he was about to send.
